Hearing Tests

Adults & Children

At Hear Check, we perform a comprehensive range of hearing assessments. Each test will look at a different part of your hearing system, pin-pointing where your hearing difficulty may lie within the auditory system.

Hearing tests are painless and involve determining and measuring what you can and cannot hear, across varying pitches. Results are plotted onto a graph called an audiogram, where we can tell you the degree (mild, moderate, severe, profound) and nature (which part of your system) of the hearing loss.

This graph can then be provided to your GP and/or specialist.
